The fricatives probably have voiced allophones by now.
The X (xj, x, xv) will become syllabic next instead
of more sonorant s because they are pronounced in
(about) the same places as i, a, u.

The following are all lasting or cyclic.

a-tone>0/_Z(C)$[#/C/G]

Z>+syllabic in nucleus

a-tone>0/[#/C/G]$(C)Z_

Z>+syl

a-tone>0/V$Z_$CV

mora>0 if unattached.

Z>mora (but not nucleus)

resyllabification

repeat...

C[N/L/G]X+sylC>C[Z+syl]XC (dialectal variations)?

a-tone>0/#C_C if #CC allowed (s extrasyllabic)

a-tone>0/VC_CV if first C less sonorant than second
(obstruents probably count as same, some awkward CC
probably not allowed or soon changed back)
